Third party CiA402 Drive (Festo) Motion app

Hello,

We have three festo servo drives that we are trying to use with the motion app without the use of codesys softmotion. We are stuck with this error.

We also have four bosch servo drives that we have managed to get up and going.
(We are currently on a trial licens) 

When we press the power on button, we can see that the control word changes the correct (as we understand it from festo manuals for the drives) bits. (bit 0-3 = 1). The festo drive responds by turning off the "ready to switch on" bit and switching the "switch on disabled" bit true. After about 2 seconds the command times out and generates the error above.  

Axis with fault
Axis Profile: AxInmCentering
Axis: AxisInmCenter
I/O device: A23_1
Motion app: 1.20.4
Automation core: 1.20.1
EtherCat Master: 1.20.1 

Festo drive: CMMT-ST-C8-1C-MP-S0
Firmware version: V033.0.10.12_Release

We have attached a system report with trace of axis profile from when we are trying to power on the axis.
And a word document with pictures of our configuration.

Any help on this issue would be much appreciated!
Regards,

Wsson is this still an issue or can this topic be closed? 

Please see that there have been improvements for third party CoE  drives in our ctrlX MOTION to overcome the startup delay issue. See e.g. documented features for version 2.4.
